I am pleased to say no wine gifts here. I can hardly open the cellar door what with all the wine that needs to be placed onto the shelves and I certainly don't need another bottle opener no matter how different it is from all the others I have been given over the years.

Wine-related items from a friend in Maryland--wine bag, Santa topper to put over an opened bottle, and a wine chiller bag. I considered buying some wine chiller bags last summer but didn't complete the transaction so I was particularly happy to have that gift. A friend at church passed on some wine tags to put on wine glasses at parties so that everyone can track which is their wine glass. I may gift myself with the Terry Theise book "Reading Between the Wines." I'm also considering gifting myself with a 2010 Clos St. Denis Grand Cru which costs much more than I will usually pay for a single bottle but is something I would like to experience.
